II. SOLVING THE EQUATION
acosθ = C
R-formula or simply transforming a function acosÆŸ bsinÆŸ as a single function.
From acosθ bsinθ = c
Consider acosθ + bsinθ – this can be expressed transformed into form
here R >O
R is the maximum value of a function (or Amplitude)
is a phase angle and it is an acute angle
Then from acosθ + bsinθ =C
acosθ + bsinθ = Rcos(θ – )
acosθ + bsinθ= R
Square equation (i) and (ii) then sum
(Rcos + = a² + b²
R²cos²+ R²sin² = a² + b²
R² = a² + b²
But + =1
R².1 = a² + b²
R² =a² + b²
Then from
acosÆŸ + bsinÆŸ =c = Rcos (ÆŸ –

C = 1.5 , = 53.12°
5 = 1.5

Cos =0.3
X + 53,12°=
X + 53.12° = 72.54°
X = 72.54° – 53.12°

Squaring (i) and (ii) then add

R² + R = 4 + 9
R²
R² = 13, R=
Then
θ- 56.3°=
θ=
= + 56.3°
= 46.1° + 56.4°= 102.4°
θ= 313.9° + 56.3°= 370.2°
= 370.2° – 360°=10.2°
θ=10.2°,102.4°
Example: 3

Squaring equations (i) and (ii) the add

R² = 29

=
X + 21.8 =
X + 21.8° = 68.2° , -68.2°
X= 68.2° – 21.8° = 46.40°
Also x + 21.8° = â»68.2°
X = â»68.2° -21.80 =-90
x =
NB: The R- formula ( Transformation) can also be done using an auxiliary angle approach; where we substitute constants a and b as functions of sine or cosine.
Thus considering the same problem solving 5 – 2 =2
Imagine a triangle
Using Pythagoras theorem
= + ²
= 5² + 2² = 25 + 4 = 29

Then from 5cos x – 2sin x = 2
– = 2

=
– x =
-x = 21.8°
So, the principle angle = 21.8°
Using the general solution of sin

X = – 21.8°
X = –

Example. Find the maximum value of 24sinx -7cosx and the smallest positive value of x that gives this maximum value.
Solution. 24sin x -7cosx = Rsin(x –

R =625
R =625
R²=625, R=
R =25
24 – 7cosx = Rsin
=
=25sin
24sinx – 7cosx = 25sin
f(x)= 25sin(x – 16.26°)
Max value of sine function is when
Sin
X – 16.26°=90°
X = 90° + 16.26°
X= 106.26°
Hence max value f=y=25 sin 90°
=25
The maximum value is 25 obtained when x = 106.26°
Note. The maximum values of

FACTOR FORMULAE (SUM AND DIFFERENCE FORMULAE)
The concept here is to express the sum or difference of sine and cosine functions as product and vice versa
Refer
Sin(A +B) = sin AcosB + cosAsin B ……….(i)
Sin(A –B) = sinAcosB –cosAsinB ………….(ii)
Cos(A + B) =cosAcosB – sinA sinB …………(iii)
Cos(A+ B) =cosAcosB + sinAsinB ……………(iv)
Add (i) and (ii)
Sin(A + B) + sin(A +B) =2sin AcosB
Let f = A + B ………(i)
Q =A-B …….(ii)
(a) +(b) 2A = P+Q, A=
(a) –(b) 2B =P-Q, B=
Therefore sin(A+B)+sin(A-B)=2sinAcosBbecome
SinP + sinQ= 2sincos …(1)
Substract(i) –(ii)
Sin(A+B) –sin(A-B) = 2cosA sinB
But P=A+B, Q=A-B
Add (iii) and (iv)
Cos(A+B)+cos(A-B) = 2cosAcosB
CosP + cosQ = 2coscos
Substract (iii) – (iv)
Cos(A + B) –cos(A-B) = -2sinAsin B
